With my current schedule getting in the way of all sorts of things, I have yet to write what I planned on for this space.

Luckily, friends in other places stumble across interesting things.

For example, here’s a little vintage educational film about dating…

My *first* date was to go see the remastered edition of The Empire Strikes Back. My date's mom drove us, because neither of us was sixteen yet. That bit was kind of weird.

The best one, at least from the vantage point I have now, involved heading down to the park with wine and cheese in search of a secluded spot to have our snack, blowing bubbles in a field on the way, receiving a tiny, perfect orange flower, and then giving up and returning home to have a wine and cheese picnic in the living room. My face hurt from smiling and laughing by the end of that day.

Wow, thanks Kier. Now I have some ideas on what to do when I ask someone to go on a date! I think I may have to go find a square dance for my next date!

Since we are on the topic of first dates, I personally don't count school dances as dates. It was more of a "I don't want to go alone". Only one of those I asked someone I was actually interested in, but I knew we were only friends so...

But recently, I've entered the dating world. Never really did it before. I just ended up with a girlfriend. Relationships just kinda... happened. This is entirely unchartered territory for me. But I have to admit, it's been pretty cool. The only problem being is since I haven't really dated before, I don't really know what the fuck I am doing half the time. Which has provided some interesting moments of conversation though.

Me too...Pretty much almost verbatim! (well, except I didn't have GIRLfriends) :)
